Required for Operation

Check before you order so your lab is ready on day one

  • Raspberry Pi 3, 4, or 5 (not included)
  • 5V USB battery power bank (mandatory for mains isolation during human recording)
  • EEG Cap (8ch Dry or Wet Cap) or EMG/ECG electrode cables

Safety Note: PiEEG-8 is an open-source research and education device, not a medical device. Always power the host board from an isolated 5V battery bank—never while plugged into AC wall mains.

Why PiEEG-8.

Research-Grade 24-Bit Signal Path

Built around the industry-standard ADS1299 biopotential ADC with programmable gain (1× to 24×), hardware lead-off detection, and ultra-low input-referred noise.

Direct SPI to Python in Minutes

Reads real-time EEG, EMG, and ECG streams straight on the Raspberry Pi without USB dongles or proprietary middleware. Stream to PiEEG Server, LabStreamingLayer, or MNE-Python.

Cited in Peer-Reviewed Research

Trusted by university teaching labs and BCI researchers worldwide as the most accessible entry point into open-source neurotechnology.
